    overboard to collect insurance on the claim that

    Slave Ship.

    and purer days, breaking away from her gilded
    cage with a startled holy resolve, while her
    shallow companion still sings on, ignorantly
    intensifying her repentant purpose.
  • Ruskin commented that the hem of her dress would
    soon be covered with mud.
  • Many symbols in the painting reflect her
    position, including the cat and discarded glove.

Ford Maddox Brown
  • The Last of England (1855)
  • Brown was his own model.
  • Brown wanted to make the coldness of the picture
    authentic To insure the peculiar look of light
    all around, which objects have on a dull day at
    sea, it was painted for the most part in the open
    air on dull days, and when the flesh was being
    painted, on cold days. The weather made my hand
    look blue with the cold as I require it in the
    work, so I painted all day out in the garden.
  • Brown wrote a sonnet to go with the painting,
    She grips his listless hand and clasps her
    child,/Through rainbow tears she sees a sunnier
    gleam,/She cannot see a void where he will be.

Brown
  • Work (1852-68)
  • The painting represents both manual labor and
    brain workersThomas Carlyle and Rev. F. D.
    Maurice.
  • Brown wrote a sonnet, Work, which beads the brow
    and tans the flesh/Of lusty manhood, casting out
    its devils,/By whose weird art transmuting poor
    mans evils/Their bed seems down, their one dish
    ever fresh.
